Lesson Plan

Color Hunt Plan

Students will match colors to emotions and state personal experiences, demonstrating understanding of body cues tied to different feelings through a color-based scavenger hunt, storytelling, breathing exercises, and journaling.

Early emotional literacy helps children recognize and regulate feelings, improving self-awareness and communication skills. This lesson makes abstract emotions tangible through colors, fostering empathy and self-expression.
